What is ipoint.exe exactly for & why does it cause flickering prob

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I already made a post about how ipoint caused flickering in quicken but I
started looking around and fount out that is not only quicken but several
other programs. This problem goes way back. Why hasn't Microsoft fixed this
yet? Are they ever gonna fix this? If you looking at this Microsoft fix the
issue its been around for a bit and most people and places say disable
ipoint.exe from running at startup but what is it for exactly?
